Towards the Future by Paul Cockram

Last drinks please
Where the power lies
The end of the world's happening
Thirsty Thursday - the culture
It's more than ticking the boxes
Here today and gone tomorrow
Book-ups and balls-ups
Power to the people
Scams, skids and seedy peas
Bleat from a marginal seat
All being taken to the cleaners
Hear that freight train a'coming
Grand Theft Alternative future
When you wish upon a star
Terror down The Track
Change the channel will ya love?
The future is not so glossy
Inlaw, outlaw and snake lore
Winston's last stand
The train glows down the track
It goes with the Territory
Environmentalist not a dirty word
2019: a vision for the future
Any carbon credits with that
Who's on the money now?
From Mother Nature to motherboard
The hardest part is yet to come
More power to the people

A few resolutions at every revolution
Heard the one about the CSUFO?
Trees don't grow on money
Saying sorry is not enough
Round and round the solution we go
Stir a bit then simply add water
The power of fossil fools
Wealthy, stealthy, hasty and wasted
Who makes the rules anyway?
Patrick the Port Engine and Friends
The community good falls off the rails
Sorry to say we've lost your money
$2.60 a day keeps the carbon at bay
With a full tank and an empty head
2020: ideas a plenty
Your call is important to us
Emission Control? We have a problem
An atmosphere of well-funded science
Rubbing salt into the wind
“But the pusher don’t care.”
Geose quest ration
Bringing our priorities down to earth
Tell them to ‘get it’ or get out of the way
Battle of the behemoths
A land for belonging not longing
Locking away carbon for life
Head in sand invites kick in bum
The market has no clothes
Building bridges in the community
Dropping the dollar from idolatry
Waiting for the bills to arrive
You'll forever ever glow
Lean forward with head between knees
Overmining is undermining tomorrow
